Hi all

Anyone know if there's any coverage of this event? Keen to follow the progress of my Kiwi mate James Honeybone.

Cheers

Main event began today in Stockholm. Website says there'll be live reporting but as is often the case with these things, doesn't seem to be up and running...

I'll be covering Norwegian Championships at DTD for the magazine, expected about 400 Norwegians will be privately flown across from Oslo to Nottingham for the event, not sure yet if it will be live reporting or just major updates

Not exactly. I believe a smlll proportion of Seats may be available to non-Norweigans, possibly 100 or so. It's gonna be capacity stuff, 500+, & the thinking, I believe, is that the Norweigans may "only" take 450.

The schedule looks really good, be a shame if no brits were allowed in.

I wonder if Annette will be making the trip over

Capacity is meant to be 560. Though I think the Norwegians will sell around 400 of these, maybe more, maybe less. I think Nick or Simon would be better placed to give you more information than I can.

I just remembered that DTD told me they WOULD, come what may, be running at least one DTD-based, Live Super-Sat to this Event.

On another forum it states that the capacity for each of the two days one will be 330.

If that figure is correct there will be plenty of spaces.

Well there will be some seats open but don't think it will be that many

It isn't.

The Norwegian open will be though, as poker is not allowed to played live in Norway.

Heard from James, made it through day one despite getting rivered three times, ended up short on day 2 and pushing with K-J and ran into A-K of Ken Lenaard. Also had Soren Kongsgaard at his table.
He and fellow Kiwi Richard Grace are playing in San Remo next I believe  ...
